CoD Black Ops

[Tom]

What a steaming pile of shit.

"MASON! DO THAT THING WHICH YOU CAN'T HEAR ME SAYING OVER ALL THE EXPLOSIONS!!!"

"MASON! WHY AREN'T YOU DOING THAT THING??!!"

"MASON!"

"DO IT MASON! DON'T SIT THERE WONDERING WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING WHILE YOU'RE SHOOTING AT VIETNAMESE SOLDIERS WHO SHOUT THE SAME TIRED PHRASES, DO THE SCRIPTED THING THAT ISN'T AT ALL OBVIOUS!!"

"MASON!!!1"


Generic weak fucking shite. Absolutely no drama, excitement, realism, or any entertainment value whatsoever. Accompanied by annoying cutscenes, flat characters who you want to die in pain, stupid vehicle chases at 200mph. Oh and I spent about 30 minutes trying to shoot a fucking rocket down, before I realised that the mouse invert doesn't work on guided weapons.

£40 saved. Piracy for the win. Uninstalled after only a couple of hours playing it. Fuckoff, shit game developers.

yep weakest sp game ive played since halo reach. Seems they spent all their budget on getting a listers doing the voice over instead of it on the actual game.

 

[throdgrain]

Its a fucking great game

 

[Billargh]

Exaggeration much.

Single player is pretty boring. Nothing new, hokey sub-Manchurian Candidate plot. Can't even get the weapons right. Think this franchise is about mined out of ideas.

 

[throdgrain]

Guys if you bought a CoD game purely for the single player you must be mental in the first place.

Yes some CoDs have had a good SP, I thought CoD4 was one, but its a MP game really.

After a disasterous start the new CoD MP is now going pretty well. Still has a few lag problems but they are being ironed out. The game itself is great, its everything MW2 should have been, but wasnt. Some new ideas but still with the same format, loads of new maps etc etc.

 

[leviathane]

grid is probably the worst map for me, bloody hate it. Love jungle though.

 

[throdgrain]

Jungle looks pretty good too. I dont know what they thought they were doing with that with no textures though

 

[ford prefect]

I played it for about two hours, I doubt I will bother again.

 

[Gumbo]

Aargh why is it such a marmite game? The 'it's crap' lobby is outweighing the 'it's great' lobby at the moment, but it's not helping me decide whether to get it or not

 

[throdgrain]

If you liked previous CoD games you will probably like this. Or at least, you will once it's working 100%!

I had some great lag-free games last night, but played this morning and it wasnt so good. My fps is low, varying from 90 all the way down to 40 and back, which I doubt is helping, but more importantly it feels like some kind of server-side lag that means sometimes you see the other player and freeze, just long enough to get killed

Also when you turn from left to right sometimes it feels really vague, though pings seem ok.

It had some good new ideas, like you earn money for games played, so that when guns are unlocked you have to choose which one you want and buy it with your money, then buy upgrades as they get unlocked too. Nice idea. Same goes for your "player card", which shows your game stats, which can be compared against your friends. Any Steam friend you already have shows up in game.

I'm fairly confident it will be fixed within a week or so, and the game will realise its true potential, but bear in mind there are thousands upon thousands of people playing it right now, so I hope Treyarch dont sit on there hands.

Because it's a treyarch COD game, not a Infinity Ward CoD game. IF tend to get everything right, or close enough that the game is well received. Treyarch mess with what makes the IF games good or produce poor clones.

throd only likes it because they fixed multiplayer on the PC after the disaster of the PC version of mw2.

 

[Milkshake]

Haven't even played the single player yet. Really enjoying the multiplayer, on my XBox, with mates.

What have I become?

 

[leviathane]

MP game is as good if not better than cod4 tbh, it's just the sp really lets it down.

 

[ford prefect]

Even if you dismiss the bugs as its early days and releasing beta as the finished product is now the industry standard - BlackOp just doesn't bring much thats new to the table. Sure there are one or two new features visually its nice but to be honest I felt like I had played this game a hundred times before and after two hours I was just bored.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Standard realistic shootey soloplay, nothing really bad, nothing really new.

Won't be a game of the year for anyone otuside fans, even then it's a push, but it's certainly not crap.

No word on MP from me, probably as fun as any realism shootey out there.

Kill the genre already, or atleast push in more duke

FYI; if it takes you 30 minutes to realise invaert doesn't work, you might have problems elsewhere

 

[Debaser]

How do I switch my stats off?

 

[Tom]

Mw2 was awesome, I loved playing every level on that. This game, however, is awful. Glad I didn't buy it.

 

[Calo]

I find this game great in mp

MW2 single-player ?

It was shit

 

[chipper]

am debating whether to get it on xbox or pc atm its so bloody expensive and its nothing special i only want it for the mp experience but im hearing mixed reviews about it from pc fans the general consensus from xbox players is its good.

is it as good as bad company 2?

 

[Turamber]

Sorry Tom but MW2 single player was ridiculous. The most stupid story ever told and then some.

 

[DaGaffer]

No.

 

[throdgrain]

Its better.

The idea of BC2 is arguably better, more variation, but it gets old so quickly, because there's not enough maps. Also that game feels much slower than a quake engined game.

MoH is like a exagerated example of BC2

 

[ECA]

I strapped a wii motion controller to my cock and when I twitch my dick muscle it shoots for me.

Still more accurate than playing it on a console.

 

[gohan]

agree

played both

and still preffer COD

they need to sort a few HUGE issues out still

namely being able to /connect IP would help
and we have our own server but can't do anything other than kick/ban, so for clan matches atm it's just impossible

 

[Raven]

I quite enjoyed the few hours the single player of MW2 gave, especially the gulag level,. Yeah the story was pretty ropey but who the fuck cares about a story in an FPS game...

Me for one. Without a story we may as well just skip the single player and have a multiplayer. Silly post really.

 

[Moriath]

wont support IW or the others that make the interim games in any way shape or form since they screwed up the multiplayer on PC last time.

Infact pretty bored with FPS right now

its all cookie cutter
